Tang Yin is also worried that if the chosen leader is too popular and capable, and manages the Ranger alliance too well, can the Ranger League be dissolved after the storm is over? If you let the Ranger alliance exist for a long time and continue to grow and develop, will it not take long to form a force that can compete with the imperial court? That's a bigger threat than against the wind. It's not worth the loss.
After talking with Sui An and observing the reaction of many Rangers, Tang Yin has made up his mind that no matter whether Zhang Dong can become the leader or not, Zhou Kuan of Baihui hall should not be allowed to take the position of leader.
Tang Yin wanted to ask more about the gangs, but Sui An was not interested in this topic. He constantly introduced his words to what business Tang Yin was doing. Obviously, he took the initiative to chat up with Tang Yin in order to make some profit from Tang Yin and see if he could get a share of it.
Tang Yin has seen a lot of such people, but he is also very disgusted. If he answers a few words, he will not talk more. Sui An asked questions incessantly. Seeing Tang Yin's displeasure, Jiang Fan and others stood up and said, "young master, we should go."
"Yes Tang Yin nodded and laughed at sui'an and said, "brother Sui, we'll see you later." Finish words, also ignore Sui An's reaction, stride outward.
Looking at Tang Yin and his party's departure, Sui An reacted for a while. After a long time of talking, he didn't get any good. He was angry and felt helpless. He patted down the table and said to the Rangers around him, "I don't think they are doing legitimate business. Maybe they are a group of bandits!"
Just now, he and Tang Yin were talking and laughing. They seemed to be friends. Now that Tang Yin has just left, he insists that they are bandits. This is the Caprice of Rangers.
Laiyang is an important town in Lingnan county.
Laiyang is a medium-sized city with a small area. The total population of the whole city and its surrounding areas is about 200000. There is no agriculture. However, the handicraft industry is developed and the commerce is prosperous. It is the only way between Fengdi and Ningdi. A large part of the armor and military uniforms the wind army is wearing are produced in Laiyang.
When Tang Yin and his party arrived in Laiyang, it was much more lively than usual. The gathering of wind people and Rangers chose to be near Laiyang, which virtually promoted the business of Laiyang. Not only did a large number of Rangers swarm into the city, but also a large number of businessmen who smelled business opportunities rushed to Laiyang. For a time, Laiyang City was unprecedentedly prosperous, with crowds and caravans everywhere.
The gathering place of Rangers is in Wanzhong Valley, 20 miles southwest of Laiyang. It is said that it was an ancient battlefield. When the first wind king expanded outward, he fought with the enemy here and killed many people. Until now, there are still rumors among the Fengren who live nearby that they can hear the shrill wails of ghosts at night.
Of course, rumors are rumors. Most Rangers don't believe in this.
After entering the city, Tang Yin did not want to disturb the local government, nor did he live in an inn. He planned to settle down in an inn. But now it's too difficult to find an inn in Laiyang. All the inns in the city are full of people. Tang Yin and his party went to the city in the morning and found no inn to let them live in the afternoon.
On the street, visitors and vendors were everywhere he could see. Tang Yin was more and more upset. Sitting on his horse, he raised his eyes and found that there was a large tavern not far away from the road. There were more than ten Posts tied with horses outside. The wine on the first floor was very lively, and the smell of food floated from time to time.
Tang Yin said to his Shangguan Yuanwu, "Yuanwu, we live in this inn." He did not use a tone of consultation, but a tone of affirmation.
When he was away, Shangguan Yuanwu was always in charge of money. He understood Tang Yin's meaning, nodded and said, "yes! Young master
Tang Yin and his party entered the inn. As soon as they came near, a waiter should come forward and asked with a smile, "what do you want to eat, sir?"
"Let's stay in the shop!" Shangguan Yuanwu said.
The clerk shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our rooms are full of rooms"
I had known that there would be such an answer. Shangguan Yuanwu didn't talk much about him. He turned to the counter, looked at a middle-aged man who was keeping accounts and asked, "are you the manager of this inn?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man put down his account book and looked up at Shangguan Yuanwu.
Shangguan Yuanwu put his package on the counter with a loud bang. He took a silver ingot with a weight of ten from the package and pushed it to the shopkeeper. He said, "seven of us, stay in the shop."
The shopkeeper looked at the silver ingot, then looked at Shangguan Yuanwu, and finally his eyes fell on the man. The clerk quickly explained, "shopkeeper, I have said that the room is full, but this guest doesn't pay any attention to me"
without waiting for the manager's words, Shangguan Yuanwu took out a silver ingot and said, "only two rooms are good."
The shopkeeper grinned bitterly and said, "don't mention two rooms. There is no one room. My shop has been full a few days ago."
Shangguan Yuanwu gazed at the shopkeeper for a moment, then again touched out a silver ingot and said, "thirty taels of silver, two rooms!"
"My guest, it's not a matter of more money and less money, but the fact that we don't have it."Before he finished his words, Shangguan Yuanwu took out two pieces of silver ingots with two crackles. This time, there were as much as fifty taels of silver on the counter.
Don't mention that the man on the side is stupid. Even the knowledgeable shopkeeper is stunned. He can't help but peep at Shangguan Yuanwu, and then look at Tang Yin and others behind him. Although these people are ordinary in clothes, they have extraordinary temperament. They throw out 50 Liang silver without blinking their eyes. They are definitely not ordinary people.
The shopkeeper was awed by Shangguan Yuanwu's momentum. After a long silence, Fang said, "OK, sir, I'll help you figure out a way." Then he said to Shangguan Yuanwu, "my guest, the rooms in our shop are really full, and we have no reason to drive out the guests when we open the door to do business. So, could you please excuse me and stay in the servants' room for a while? I'll ask the guys to give up two rooms to some of our guests."
Shangguan Yuanwu was not satisfied with such an answer. He raised his eyebrows and was about to speak. Tang Yin came forward, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "well, the shopkeeper also has his difficulties. We can have a place to live."
Tang Yin opened his mouth, Shangguan Yuanwu no longer argued, nodded his head and said, "yes! Young master
After spending most of the day, Tang Yin and his party managed to find a place to settle down. After that, several people found an empty table in the lobby on the first floor and sat down and asked the waiter to serve the food and wine.
The craft of this inn is good, and the food is authentic, with all kinds of colors and flavors. Tang Yin was eating and watching the tourists outside the window. He shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "I can't imagine that there are so many Rangers in our country. However, every time a military order is issued, only a few of them have signed up." But also some strength is not strong shrimp soldiers and crabs. This is the most irritating thing for Tang Yin.
Cheng Jin said: "Rangers have always been self righteous. They would rather suffer from hunger and cold than contribute to the imperial court."
Shangguan Yuanwu continued: "in fact, Rangers look down on the court in their bones. They think that working for the court is tantamount to being a hawk dog of the imperial court. They are not ashamed."
"Hum!" Tang Yin sneered and said with sharp eyes, "such as this, death is not worth cherishing."
No words that day, Tang Yin and others stayed in the inn. At first, they planned to let Tang Yin live in one room and other people share another. But Tang Yin didn't pay so much attention to it. He just took Shangguan brothers to his own room.
The next day, just before dawn, Tang Yin was awakened by the noise outside. He got out of bed with a frown, opened the window and looked out. There were a lot of people in groups on the street. People were walking in one direction, pointing, not knowing what they were saying.
"King, what's the matter?" Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan yuanbiao also went to the window and looked out.
"God knows." Sleepless Tang Yin murmured. He grabbed his clothes and put them on his body. He shook his head and said, "let's go out and have a look."
One of the most important purposes of Tang Yin's visit to Laiyang is to watch the excitement. Of course, he doesn't want to miss it.
Shangguan brothers also dressed in a hurry and followed Tang Yin out of the room. As soon as they came out, the door next to them was opened. Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and a San ah Si came out of the room.
Tang Yin waved to them and asked, "do you know what's going on outside?"
Cheng Jin shook his head and said, "I heard it looks like a dead man. It's not clear what happened."
Dead? Tang Yin frowns. There are so many Rangers in Laiyang. It's normal to have a fight between them. What is a dead man? Do not want to understand the Central Plains by, he no longer asked, quietly speed up the pace.
Outside the inn, Tang Yin and others followed the flow of people to the east of the city. After a short time, they were close to the east gate of Laiyang. When they got here, more people gathered. They were all looking up, pointing to the city and whispering.
Along with the people's line of sight, Tang Yin and others also raised their eyes. After seeing clearly, they all took a breath.
Just above the gate of the city, there was a corpse. The clothes of the corpse were ragged and covered with large and small openings. It was dripping with blood. It was like a blood gourd. He was nailed to the wall by a knife through his chest. At the foot of the corpse, there was a long cloth with a line of red blood written on it: the position of alliance leader is inevitable. If you have different aspirations, you should hang the body here!
It can be seen from this line that the murderer must be one of the competitors for the leader. The one who died is likely to be the one who opposed him as the leader.
"It's Li Si! That's Li Si, the head of the temple! " The crowd did not know who called out the name and identity of the dead, this crowd can blow up the pot.
The leader of the temple was killed, and the murderer hung his body on the gate of the city. This is undoubtedly a provocation to the temple!
